I once played a first-person point-and-click adventure game featuring a player character who is a cyborg. I don’t remember much about the game, but I do recall quite explicitly that it had a Hard Rock Cafe in the game. Haven’t had any luck finding it.
Took me two decades to find the game [Dominus]. Nothing worse than having the name of something on the tip of your tongue for that long. Used to play this game a lot when I was young, it’s not very good but it was a core memory. I cried a bit when I figured it out.
A boy and his blob. They made a modern sequel which lost a main gameplay component— puzzling out the puns for the various abilities, or at least making a hand written lookup chart. Just telling you that a punch jellybean makes a hole isn’t quite the same.
I can’t remember the name now, but I recently found a game In have been looking the name of for years. It’s something like Pharo’s. Curse or something along those lines, but I’d have to check Flashpoint Archive for the name because they have the online demo.
The concept was just that each level had a different board layout and you had to move 3 pieces of some sort of symbol or artifact or whatever to be adjacent ( possibly in a certain order horizontally ) but balls spawn if you move witjo clearing them by matching 3 or using a powerup. You could move them to any empty space so long as the path was clear.
Can’t find a copy of the actual game itself from a reputable website right now, but I know it exists.
It was a tower defense game before the term existed. Way back on a Macintosh back and white machine. You sat in the lower corner with a mortar and machine gun against people, tanks, helicopters, and jets trying to charge/shoot your position.
Oh! And The Dark Castle. There was a big the prevented you from finishing the game. Man I wish I could play it to completion.
Another awesome one is the tank game where you spawned on hills, then insulted each other before flinging various crazy weapon shots around (nikes, mirvs, napalm, dirt). Such fun.
The Portal games are fun puzzle FPS platformers with a great story, though there’s a good chance you’ve already played those and didn’t consider them platformers.
Another FPS platformer is Roboquest. It’s a roguelite shooter. Very fast pace and stressful but fun if you’re into that kind of thing.
I also want to second Psychonauts. I haven’t played #2 yet but the first game had a unique and interesting story with fun gameplay.
I’ve heard A Short Hike is a relaxing game. More about exploration than meeting game objectives but could be a nice break when you’re stressed. Basically the opposite of Roboquest haha

I did not speak french when I was six. I do now, but apparently that doesn’t automatically translate memories from thirty years ago. It took me about 5 years of actively looking for this to find it. I found it by asking in a big forum (not reddit but that sort of thing) for something like “people driving cars deforesting space with lasers”.
